Return Of The Heiress For Revenge - Chapter 362

Chapter 362: I Like You

In a dark room where the only source of light was the flashes on television. A man was sitting alone on a large chair with a can of bear in his hands.

His eyes were fixed on the screen where many reporters were standing outside the hospital. Penny was dragged out of the hospital by two policemen.

A could followed behind with a body on a stretcher. The body was soon pushed into an ambulance.

The reporters surrounded the couple.

“Mr Spencer! What relationship do you share with Miss Stone?”

“Miss Stone, is it true that Pennelope Stone had killed her own mother by giving her poison?”

“Were you one of the targets too? We heard that you took a sip too. Why did you not die then?”

“Could it be a publicity stunt?”

“Have you taken over all the properties despite being a minor?” The man watched the screen intently.

His face was covered with rage and hatred. His eyes glommed over Nora. how he wanted to crush her into pieces. No! He would not give her an easy death like poisoning. He would make sure she would beg for death first.

“Nora is the legal heir of the properties since they are left by her father. As far as it is about Pennelope Stone, you have watched yourself how the police had dragged her away.

We will soon marry and all the properties are then transferred to Nora. We will share the happy news soon. My fiance is still overwhelmed by the accident. I hope you will give her time to recover. We will soon organize a public conference and invite all of you there. Thank you for your care and support.” The reporters took a step back and bowed in front of the man slightly.

Alric held Nora by her waist as he guided her into the car.

The man kept watching the screen even when the scene had changed into the weather news.

“Sir! The school protest had caught the wind too. It is increasing to the limit where parents have started complaining. If you did not make an entry soon, you would be expelled from the board of directors team. They are planning to sell your shares and pay the amount to your creditors. If that happened!” The man did not continue but David, who was sitting on the sofa, finally stood up.

He did not throw the remote on the screen like always. Neither he broke the furniture or anything. He just watched everything calmly as if it had nothing to do with him.

But his eyes left a chill in the men present there.

“Have you found what I have asked you to do?” The man took out a file and passed it to David. His eyes gleamed with a dark ray of light as he scanned the file.

“Prepare our team.”

Nora was surprised to see a Bentley waiting at the exit. Her eyes gleamed and she took hasty steps toward the car.

The door opened and Alric walked out. Nora was surprised to see him driving the car himself.

“Why are you wearing so little?” Nora looked at the uniform she was wearing. Didn’t every student wear it when they came to school?

Frowning, Alric took out a sweatshirt and passed it to her. “The wind had started getting colder. You should take care of yourself.” It was still noon and the weather was fine. But looking at his frowning face, she smiled and wore it.

“Where are we going?” looking at her complacent behavior and sweet smile, his expressions softened. He opened the door for her and closed it behind her. Only then did he take the driver seat.

“I have selected a few staff for you. I want you to personally take their interview and select two assistants for you. Now that you have three companies to run, you need some qualified staff with you.” Nora had thought about it already.

These days she was seeking more and more help from Joe.

“After that, we will sort out the tasks they can handle and work you need to check directly. And after that, we will have dinner together. I have a meeting to attend in the hospital. How about we share a drink later?” Alric had taken out a protein bar from her as he explained to her.

Nora watched his cold face, for some reason, it looked much tender than before. She smiled and nodded. Even if he asked her to go to hell with him, she would accept it without hesitation.

Nora froze suddenly.

“Do you not like the plan?” Alric asked, tilting his head slightly. She shook her head and looked away. Stunned at her thoughts!

“Alric! Do you really mean it when you say that you like me?” Alric paused, not expecting the question. He noticed the red signal and stopped the car.

“Yes, I like you.” he took a deep breath and nodded as if he was afraid of her judgement.

“How did you know that you like me and since when?” looking at her penetrating gaze, Alric blushed.

“That… I feel good whenever you are around me. And I want to protect you even if it means putting myself in danger. When did it start? I do not know when but my feelings for you did not grow up in a day. It started when you stood up for me without asking for anything in return. And then you did so much to protect Alex. Money and profits might be there Nora, but I knew that money was not the sole reason. I like you for who you are!” Nora let his words sink in and then remembered the time when they had been kidnapped. She was ready to get shot to save him.

How she feels warm whenever he cares for her and even in this moment… she licked her lips and met his eyes

A strange fluttering feeling filled her and her heart raced.

“Alric! I like you too.”
